Various Authors - The Hot Seat. The Real Taxi Driver's Voice. April-May 1976. Number 39

New York, Taxi Rank and File Coalition, 1976. Tabloid. Side folding tabloid newspaper. 12 pp. Illustrations and photos throughout. A single issue of this newspaper issued by the Taxi Rank and File Coalition, a group of about 40 taxi drivers who, while members of the New York City Taxi Drivers Union, were disillusioned with the union and its goals. The group sought to achieve various proworker changes, using their newspaper, The Hot Seat, as its main source of dissemination. They published 44 issues before stopping in 1977. The coalition itself disbanded in late 1977. It often adopted more radical stances on subjects and addressed social issues such as racism as well. This issue looks at various labor and union issues, both relating to taxi drivers and other workers. One article, published in Spanish and English, looks at coerced or forced sterilization by hospitals and the US government, carried out mostly on minorities, including Latina women, Native American women, and on women in Puerto Rico. GOOD condition. Horizontal fold crease present. General toning. Minor tearing and edgewear. Light soiling. Good .
